The Impact of Social Media on Teenagers' Mental Health
Teenagers today are facing unprecedented challenges due to the influence of social media. The constant exposure to curated and filtered images on platforms like Instagram contribute to body image issues, eating disorders, and self-perception problems. The hyper-sexualization of young girls on social media also leads to vanity and self-criticism. Moreover, social media has undermined the development of interpersonal skills, leaving teenagers feeling lonely and socially anxious. The shallow and vacuous nature of social media culture prevents in-depth conversations and meaningful connections. It is crucial for parents to set boundaries and teach teenagers how to navigate social media responsibly.
